Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
There are reports that Lil Lenny, the runner-up in the 2nd at Globe Derby yesterday, broke a knee during the race or in the run on after they passed the winning post. Lil Lenny was a 4yo gelding having its first race start. The serious injury may have just been the result of bad luck, […]
The track surface looked like it still needs to pack down a bit, but it raced fast and well. The best time of the night was 1.56.7 and they ran sub-1.58 in three races, so its a pass. They need to put hoardings on the outside fence from the turn out of the straight to […]
Trainer Shane Loone has been disqualified for 12 months for corruption and betting charges related to the race at Globe Derby on 12 August that he tried to set up to get the favorite beaten . It was a stiff sentence but well deserved. More to follow….
After months of remedial works racing at the Globe Derby track is set to return on the 12th of October, finally giving punters desperate enough to bet on the SA trots some respite from the ardours of trying to find a winner on the lowly country goat tracks Gawler, Kapunda and Port Pirie.

On Monday South Australian trainers Sue and Jason Jaensch made the long trek over the border from Murray Bride to Hamilton with their former Team Hayes trained maiden galloper Hadar, and took plenty of the folding stuff in their pockets with them to keep them company on the drive. They unloaded it in the 3rd […]
For reasons known only to the South Australians the photo-finish camera wasn’t working for the first two races at Friday’s meeting at Bordertown. As a result the Stewards ruled that the judge would determine the placings by eye. That became a whole lot harder than it might have been when two runners crossed the finish […]
Race 1 at Gawler yesterday served as another demonstration of the ineptness of the people currently running harness racing in South Australia, and why they need a good kick up the arse.
